Is draining all but a foot or so of water out of an above ground pool through winter a bad idea even when you live in the South and don't have to worry much about freezing?

Doesn't some amount of water help hold the pools shape so it doesn't colapse? I had an upbove ground pool that we left a little water in for the winter so it wouldn't fall down w/the winter storms. They sure are not fun to clean in the spring though. It depends on the ground water level. If your ground water is high enough to float the pool, it's a bad idea. If ground water is high the pool needs the weight of the water to keep it from being damaged. If ground water is low, it doesn't really matter.

Should ponies live outside during the winter?
In winter ponies and horses will grow long winter coats to protect themselves from the cold. If there is snow on the ground, they will paw at the snow to uncover the grass below. They may also have to break through ice on their water source, however, if it gets too thick they cannot and if this is the case, you need to or get something to prevent the water from freezing over.

Do fiberglass pools break in the winter ?
No, most I have seen survive through the winter unharmed. If draining the pool is not acceptable (as often is the case) then an insulated pool cover will likely be needed to help prevent damage in the event of a sudden drop in temperature.
Why is it that a tub of water placed in a farmers canning cellar helps prevent canned food from freezing in cold winters?
Ice is a good insulator - it does not conduct thermal energy well. A layer of ice can (rather counter intuitively) keep a cellar warmer than the cold winter outside, if the winter weather is well below the freezing point. This is the same principle that keeps rivers and lakes from freezing all the way through in winter weather.
